Distant Suns Amiga update, any interest?

Would anyone be interested in an update to this classic Amiga application? We are in contact with the company and might push forward if there is any interest. The current version is 6.0. The Amiga version has not been updated in a long while. It is a great package though.

@weirdami
If this was done it would be updated to the same features as the 6.0 Windows version.

Digital Universe is a great package. If we do this we will not do an OS 4.0 version to avoid hurting sales of that fine package. This is per our mission statement.

That of course does not rule out doing OS 3.9, AROS & MorphOS versions since Digital Universe is not available for those...
If there is enough demand.

@Tenacious
The Amiga source code is lost, so if it was ported to AROS, MorphOS & Amiga OS 3.9 it would have to be from the Windows code of version 6.0. RTG? of course, but the problem is their would have to be enough demand to justify the port.

@BillE
We are not sure if we are going forward on this since the Amiga source code is lost and all that is available is the Windows code (for porting purposes). There would have to be serious demand.
